I have a thing with my head that means that it doesn't fit all helmets. It's sort of, well lunky. 

I reckon the best way to buy a helmet is to go to the shop and try them all on, without looking at the price or anything else. Then at the end take all the ones that feel comfortable and put them in order of whatever you feel is important, like material, price, looks etc. Then you can come up with a compromise and the best for you.

Try not to worry about what other people think, they've all got a kite mark (the helmets, not the people). Different riders have different requirements. If you are on a student loan riding a tiny scooter, you don't need and probably can't afford the same sort of thing that Stoner has.

The only thing that I would use review sites for is for noise - cos that's about the only thing you can't test before buying.

well trying it on is where i hit a problem the only bike shop i had closed 2 years ago so i have to go mail order now

and it dose have two of the things i wanted one being the flip down sun shade and the Bluetooth is handy and its a flip front also good
and i have been told the noise suppression is good too

pick this up Viper RS V121 with Bluetooth at NEC in Nov comes up tidy on ratings (bluetooth was slandered and good price)
not a bad skid lid in my eye a bit of noise over 80 but turn music up and it is OK

for me the viper fits better ( I wear glasses too )
 
plan a day trip somewhere their is a tidy bike shop then any try loads on
i would not mail order a skid lid
not unless i have tryed one one before and know the size and type that fits best .
better head protection is in getting the right fit.
that is my two cents
